Published

on

A viral video claims to show a “child market” between Congo and Gabon where parents allegedly sell their children. But is this true?

In this episode of WABMA Fake News Debunker (Ep. 116), we carefully examine the footage, verify available evidence, and separate fact from fiction.

🔍 What we investigated:

  • The viral video and its visual details
  • Reports from credible international media
  • Data from global child-protection organizations
  • Any evidence of a “child market” in the Congo–Gabon region

Our Verdict: FALSE
There is no verified evidence that such a market exists. The viral video does not prove child trafficking and has been shared without proper context.

⚠️ Why this matters:
Misinformation like this spreads fear, reinforces harmful stereotypes, and distracts from real child protection issues.
